Thanks to everyone, for the advice on this topic. Sorry for the late response I have had a rough couple of weeks. i took the 1st week of November off to hunt. On the 5th day I got a call that my father in law unexpectedly passed away at 68 years old. Something like this really puts things in perspective. We buried him today in the Western Reserve National Cemetary with full military honors. He flew 43 combat missions in Vietnam. It is people like him that fight for our freedom to do the things we love.
Again, great advice, especially looking for the cross trails and funnels. That is something I can do better. I am pretty familair with the thermals, i do use a trail camera and a puffer bottle. I do think the bucks are patterning me. I believe they were watching me entering the woods and climbing the hill to my stand. My son watched, from the opposite ridge, a buck circle me as I went to my stand. |
